Prom and Homecoming Dress Alteration Services
The night of the dance is your time to shine — the last thing you want to do is worry about how your dress looks. At Classic Drycleaners, we specialize in prom gown and homecoming dress alteration solutions to give you a stunning dress with a comfortable and seamless fit. We understand how important these gowns are, and we offer a vast range of service options to make necessary changes and help you create the perfect dress. Our talented tailors can work on a variety of materials, including vintage pieces featuring unique fabrics and embellishments.
Some of our most requested homecoming dress and prom dress alterations include:
- Size adjustments: Gowns and dresses frequently need to be taken in or otherwise changed. Our tailors can use their extensive experience to adjust dress sizes anywhere on the garment while preserving the general design of the piece.
- Hem length adjustments: Do you want your prom or homecoming dress to be shorter or a little longer? Shortening gowns takes an expert touch, especially when it comes to a change from floor-length to knee-length. Let us handle all the details, including the need to hem accompanying built-in crinolines, linings, and slips.
- Zipper replacements: Never let a broken zipper keep you from having an amazing time at prom or the homecoming dance. Instead, trust Classic Drycleaners to repair or replace the zipper. Even hidden zippers in unusual fabrics are no problem for our professional tailors in central PA.
